what's up guys David here and this is a video that you guys actually requested so my last video where I told you I was using the 1 plus 3 as my daily driver and thinking about switching I asked you guys if you guys wanted to follow up most of you guys said yes so here we are I've decided to switch phones and the phone I've switched to is the Google pixel which I'm holding upside down I say that despite thinking that the iPhone 7 plus is the better phone overall now you guys may be wondering what does that mean right I think the iPhone 7 plus is better overall yet I sit here in front of you saying that I'm using the pixel so why before I answer that question let's talk about why I think the iPhone 7 plus is actually the better phone at least in terms of hardware right so the iPhone 7 plus has IP 67 which at this point is a really big feature to have on phones the pixel doesn't have that so ip67 water and dust resistance and then the iPhone 7 plus also has dual speakers so it's a lot louder than this guy and this one's a little bit distorted at times too and like it easily get covered so it's not better in that regard as a 2 X optical zoom camera here's great but being able to zoom in I think adds a little more value and uh-oh the design this thing wasn't my favorite design when I first saw it it has grown on me ok but I wasn't a fan of the the two-tone in fact I asked my four-year-old nephew Mike hey do you like the way this one looks like I don't like this the plastic and the metal heat in those glass but like the fact that he said plastic up probably not a good sign my objection you know on a logical level is if you're gonna put glass on the back of the phone let it be for some purpose I mean they say it's like to help you get better reception but I don't really have issues with like a metal phone so I don't really buy that Samsung has all glass phones and you guys have seen the drop test obviously breaks easily and obviously this would probably crack - but you know at least the Samsung phones come with you know Samsung pay with MST I don't know if it needs a glass back to do that but it does have that option and it has wireless charging so not a fan of the design has grown on me since I originally you know laid eyes on it overall iPhone 7 plus from a hardware perspective I think is better that's my opinion obviously there's counter arguments as charging its comfortable comfortable holding the hand it doesn't you know rock when you're using it on a flat surface all those things you guys have seen the reasons videos if you haven't seen the reasons videos click over here because I go over 25 reasons why each is better than the other I did a poll actually in that video asking you guys which phone you thought had the strong reasons and the majority of people voted for the iPhone 7 plus on both videos with that out of the way why did I go with pixel well first off you guys know I'm an Android fan and you're not gonna get a better version of Android then you can get on the pixel the newest version straight from Google and I just like the customization and being able to really create the experience I want on my phone I'm an enthusiast and I'm gonna take those actions most people don't that's why I said the average consumer probably like the iPhone 7 plus more at the same time you know there are some pretty strong reasons why you'd want to use the pixel and again watch the two videos and guys will know what I'm talking about or keep repeating myself however the thing that kind of tipped the scale for me at least is actually not a reason included in any of those videos it's something that's more personal to me and I think some of you guys could relate to this and that is I feel like the pixel better represents where we're going in the future when it comes to technology at least when compared to the iPhone 7 plus I felt like if I didn't use a pixel I'd be missing out what would I be missing out on in the same way that the g1 let me experience the growth of Android as a platform the pixel is setting up the future for two really really really big things the first is AI I think artificial intelligence is you know BarNone the biggest advance we're going to make up in technology and obviously this has the Google assistance on it and that's going to continue to evolve and get better as time goes by I want to be a part of that process and see it grow obviously Google now is available on other phones right it's available on the iPhone but it's kind of hard to get to so I don't really count that but as well one other Android phones but the Google assistants this is a little bit better integrated on the pixel and the second thing is the daydream platform right the VR they have oh how my heads are here they have the dedicated daydream view headset and for me at least for the phone integration is the best headset I was comfortable to wear comes with the remote and there's not a lot of apps on there right now kind of reminds me in the early days of the g1 but I want to see that grow as well now that's probably not a reason that applies to some of you guys maybe some of you guys it does right I'm so hard core technology enthusiast and I also have the luxury of being able to switch back to the iPhone of this phone gets annoying alright or I could switch to the 1 + 3 T or whatever phone I do so like maybe that doesn't count a lot but wanting to be a part of the shift that we're gonna make in the next you know five or 10 years is is something I think the Google pixel represents and I just want to be a part of that like I was with a g1 so yeah that's why I switched to the Google pixel outside that I think that's pretty much it for me in this video so I will see you in the next one
